What an incredible day for a triathlon. The weather was perfect. The water was perfect. The course was perfect. Just what a Mother would have ordered. It was one of the best Heritage Park Triathlons ever! Holland Smith and Kevin Wait won the triathlon Vicki Gardner and Kevin Sampson won the dualthlon. Our TRiKC members looked especially good out there today. The complete triathlon results can be found here and the duathlon results can be found here.

Guys, you should be really jealous. A triathlon with perfect weather, a perfect water temperature, a perfect venue, and great race management. It is the Olathe Medical Center Triathlon, but it is for ladies only. On 9|10|11 a touch of fog delayed the start of the race, but from that point forward the event and sun shined like a jewel. The winner’s podium was filled with TRiKC members, but the real story of the day was the individual strength of all of our gals who each battled in the water, then battled on the bike, and then battled on the run to finish with sizzling fast times. Each of our members were very, very, impressive! Congratulations to Angela Rupp who took first place overall as well as to all the women who participated.
Our special guest, Trish Downing, put in a very inspiring performance. Trish finished the race in 1 hour, twenty-seven minutes and 39 seconds. She was 145th overall. She is absolutely amazing!
The complete race results can be found here.

Incredibly, Trish’s busy visit to Olathe did not end with the triathlon. As she was going through gate security at the Kansas City International Airport on Sunday morning (9|11|11), a man in front of her refused to allow agents to search his carry-on. TSA screeners had put the bag through the x-ray machine and noticed something suspicious. Security closed the entire gate area and the bomb squad was called in to remove the bag. Trish had to evacuate and was not able to continue her trip home until Sunday evening. Trish was interviewed by KCTV 5 news and said "I was in line for my flight at security. I was inside the door and all of the sudden they said 'turn around and leave,' and they just started shoeing everyone out of there. We left, and we didn't really get any explanation beyond that." The video of her interview is below.
